Asking anything
When you have a specific question ("when's the census date?", "where do I get my ID card?", "how do I defer?"), Ask Anything is the quickest way to an answer. It searches the answers your university has put together for students like you.
How it works
- Type your question
Ask in your own words. Ask Anything matches it against your university's curated answers.
- Read the answer
A good match comes back with the answer and any useful links or next steps your university attached.
- Or get the steps, if you asked about a place
Ask about the printers, a bookable room or a specialist space and you get the numbered sequence instead: what to do, where it is, when it's open, what it costs, and who can use it. The same guides are on your resources page under How things work.
- If there's no match, reach a person
When nothing fits, you're not stuck. You're handed straight to raising a help request so a real staff member can pick it up.
Ask Anything draws on answers your university wrote for your campus. So they reflect your actual deadlines, services, and processes, not generic advice.
When to use what
- Ask Anything: a specific, factual question with a likely known answer.
- Finding support and resources: when you want to browse the services on offer.
- Raising a help request: when you need a person, not a page.
Common questions
Is this an AI chatbot?
It's a search over your university's own answers, built to get you a reliable, institution-specific response, and to route you to a human when there isn't one, rather than guessing.
What if the answer is out of date?
Your university maintains these answers. If something looks wrong, raise a help request and mention it. Staff can fix the source.
